" iil Lions Directors Meet Members of the board of directors of Amherst Lions had scheduled a meeting for last night (Thursday) at Walt Moe-bius' insurance office. Several items of business pertaining to future programs for the club were to be discussed. Merchants Will Hear Plans for Welcome Wagon Plans for the establishment in Amherst of a "Welcome Wagon" will be explained to local merchants at the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the bank Monday evening. Welcome Wagon service is established in most larger cities in the nation. Primarily the service is concerned with a call by a local hostess to all newcomers to the community. The newcomers are welcomed into the community and are given such local civic information as is available the denomination and location of churches, information about the schools, and a resume of local merchants and businesses. Also among the duties of the hostess are calls on parents of new babies and girls announcing their engagements. The service is established in Lorain, Elyria, Avon Lake, and practically all towns in the Cleveland metropolitan area. Representatives will be at the meeting Monday evening at 8:00 to talk with local merchants to decide if there is a need for the service in Amherst. 1 1 1 " " l il .

Si'llf" r ; Ipl;' ': ' W f Willi' Orphan Annie In Cast of Workshop Play "Orphan Annie," pedigreed Boston bull terrier owned by Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Schibley, made her debut last night at the Grange hall in "Heaven Can Wait," as the newest (and youngest) member of the County Workshop Players. Annie was drafted to play the part ordinarily reserved for a pomeranian, but thefour-year-old thoroughbred fills the bill as a lap dog, to perfection. Last night was the first of three for the production of "Heaven Can Wait," second play of the season for the players. Although a three-act comedy, there is something fantastic about the whole thing, with the opening scene taking place at the entrance of heaven, a young pugilist objecting to being called so early, and his return to earth to find a suitable body when the records disclosed he had been called 60 years too soon. The heavenly messengers return with him to arrange for the change and the three cause considerable commotion in the Farnsworth household. A love interest also adds to the plot of the story. The Workshop Players are proud to present the comedy which is likened to last year's "Harvey" in some respects. New lights, back drops, rugs are being used for the first time, to improve the general setting, again done in Arena style. Many hours of preparation have been spent under the direction of Valerie Jenkins, with no one getting paid for their efforts, except in pleasure of participation. The Amherst B&PW club is helping with the sale of tickets, as a money-raising project for their organization.

Senior Safety Patrol Active Members of the Senior Safety Patrol at Amherst high school are now on duty to protect younger children in crossing the streets on the way to and from school, according to an announcement this week by Chief of Police Paul Pikey. Organized recently among students of the upper grades in high school, the patrol is said to be the first in the state formed of older students. Other school boy patrols are formed of junior high and younger ages but, although having a good record for safety and service, the groups had too little control over older students. The local senior patrol was formed with the idea it could help the younger children and at the same time have more authority with upper class students. Members of the patrol will appear in a group in full uniform at the next meeting of the PTA on Monday evening, Feb. 11. is expected within the next sev eral weeks. As their next purchase, the members have decided on a greatly needed operating table. This will be ordered in the near future. During the meeting the presi dent, Christine Brill, appointed the standing committees for the coming year: work committee, Mrs. A. C. Berg, chairman, Mrs. William Mischka, Mrs. Elmer Reichert; operating table pur chase committee, Mrs. D. B. Goldthorpe, chairman, Mrs. Walter Leinhos, Mrs. Edward Kirsch-gessner; ways and means committee, Mrs. Carl Deeds, chairman, Mrs. Neal Ludwig, Mrs. C. E. Swineford, Mrs. Clarence Jones, Mrs. John Smythe, Mrs. Claude Huey; birthday calendar chairman, Mrs. Walter Leinhos; membership chairman, Mrs. Edward Kirschgessner.
